The consultation was conducted very efficiently and essential details and consequential options communicated clearly and well. I was particularly grateful that my chosen option - laser treatment - was able to be given during this same visit. There was very much waiting time which perhaps could have been managed/communicated better.....maybe not.....? We were treated with much kindness and friendliness by Chloe.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care I received. From the very first appointment, with Dr Scott. He demonstrated not only extraordinary surgical skill but also a level of compassion and reassurance that made an overwhelming situation feel manageable. When my vision was at risk, Dr Scott took quick action. He explained every step clearly, and treated me with genuine kindness and respect. His calm confidence gave me hope at a time when I was frightened about the future. His calm manner and compassionate approach made what could have been a very stressful experience feel safe and supported. The standard of care provided was outstanding, and his attention to both medical excellence and patient wellbeing truly sets him apart. We felt listened to, respected, and cared for throughout the entire process. The surgery itself was nothing short of life‑changing. Thanks to his expertise and meticulous attention to details and very steady hands , my sight was saved — something I will be grateful to Dr Scott and God for every single day. My daugher often calls Dr Scott a "Unicorn" he is a rare combination of brilliance and compassion. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have been under his care, and I recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone seeking the very best in eye care. If it were possible to give 10 stars, I absolutely would. Dr Andrew Scott is an exceptional surgeon and a credit to his profession. Many thanks for looking after my eyes. May Continue to Bless You Anne-Marie

Mr Scott answered my questions by email on this occasion, which avoided having to travel into London while I have chemotherapy.
